the clown came down to meet me with a smile upon his face, he fired the starting pistol and began the human race there were faces all around me they were running everywhere but everywhere is nowhere and nowhere isn’t there.

chorus it’s a game a game, a game that we’re playing but i don’t mind but i don’t make the rules it’s a game, a game, a game that we’re playing just a game for lovers and fools

well there’s snakes upon your ladder and there’s dice upon your skirt there’s lipstick on my collar and there’s sweat upon my shirt the neighbors will start talking but you know that i don’t care for the neighbors, they are nowhere and nowhere isn’t there.

chorus it’s a game a game, a game that we’re playing but i don’t mind but i don’t make the rules it’s a game, a game, a game that we’re playing just a game for lovers and fools
